About the Show

Miss Ethnic Non-Specific

After a wildly successful staged reading at Artist's Repertory Theatre for the Fertile Ground Festival in Portland, Oregon last winter, we've decided to take this production all the way--giving it the life it deserves. I've teamed up with Joseph Bertot and Alexandra Blatt to help bring this story to life.

The show explores my own journey to find identity and self-acceptance, and deals with topics like race, heritage, misogyny, trying to fit into the molds of others...and then shattering them into a million pieces. I am finally comfortable with who I am and want to share my journey of pain, pursuit of Hollywood acting, growth, humor and ultimately, love.

As we navigate through a world that in this moment in time has deeply rooted challenges I feel this piece is more important than ever. Stereotypes abound and I want to punch through those stereotypes. This show is my contribution to that dialogue. The hope is to take this show on the road and broaden the reach of our message. Please also consider supporting the show through our Kickstarter campaign (Until July 31st)!

Audience Comments

(Reading of script at Artist Rep/Fertile Ground, 2017)

“It is a play that speaks universally to anyone who has looked in the mirror and tried to change their appearance, or tried as hard as they can to fit into a box to be accepted.”

“This play is going places. I am hoping it can tour around our nation to inspire young and old that who we are as we are, is enough.”

“This show is powerful, relevant, truthful.”

“I loved it and didn't want it to end! Your writing was fluid and moving, and your performance was fantastic! I felt like I was right there with you in the smelly beauty parlor, the smoky car, the casting director's audition room, the pageant stage…”

“I LOVED Miss Ethnic Non-Specific! I laughed, I cried, I was so engaged. Just need to acknowledge the beauty, talent, depth, range, and intelligence of this piece.”
